  • A Veteran Served Our Country. Now His Family Needs Us.

    An Army Veteran Served Our Country. Now His Family Needs Us.

    A life dedicated to protecting freedom was tragically cut short by an act of violence fueled by political division. What should have remained a difference of opinion ended in heartbreak no family should ever endure.

    This veteran served his country with honor, courage, and sacrifice. He believed deeply in the freedoms that unite Americans — including the right to hold different beliefs and viewpoints. After defending those freedoms for others, it is devastating beyond words that his own life was taken so violently.

    Today, his loved ones are facing overwhelming grief, emotional trauma, and unexpected financial burdens. In their darkest moment, they should not have to stand alone.

    That is why we are asking our RNHA San Diego members, friends, family, and compassionate supporters to come together in unity and humanity. From June 1 through June 15, 2026, we are opening a donation campaign to support this veteran’s family as they navigate this heartbreaking loss.

    Every contribution, no matter the amount, helps provide immediate support and sends a message that must never be forgotten:

    His life mattered.
    His service mattered.
    And hate and violence must never define our communities.

    If you feel moved to help, please donate today. Please make your donation “In Care of Kerry Sheron.”

    Your generosity will make a meaningful difference for a family carrying unimaginable pain.

    Thank you for choosing compassion over division. Thank you for standing with this family when they need it most. And may God bless you for your kindness and support.

  • Meet Shirley Nakawatase

    Real Stewardship for San Diego: Why Financial Expertise Matters Over Politics

    When it comes to the financial health of San Diego County, the stakes are too high for business as usual. Managing our county’s revenue, safeguarding public investments, and ensuring efficient tax collection isn’t a job for a politician—it requires a seasoned financial professional.

    That is why Shirley Nakawatase is running for San Diego County Treasurer-Tax Collector. She stands out as the only candidate in this race with deep, real-world financial expertise that is directly aligned with the core responsibilities of this vital office.

    Expertise Grounded in Reality, Not Politics

    Unlike other candidates whose backgrounds are built on political steppingstones, Shirley’s experience is built on decades of doing the actual work: tax collection, prudent investment management, and safeguarding public funds.

    As a licensed CPA with over 40 years of hands-on experience, Shirley has:

    • Served thousands of San Diego taxpayers and local businesses, helping them navigate complex financial matters.
    • Managed massive portfolios, including working directly with one of California’s largest taxpayers.
    • Delivered measurable results by consistently helping organizations improve operational efficiency, drastically reduce costs, and strengthen their overall financial performance.

    What This Means for San Diego County

    The role of Treasurer-Tax Collector requires far more than passive, high-level oversight. It demands technical expertise, rigorous discipline, and absolute accountability to the people who fund the county.

    If elected, Shirely will bring professional qualifications and a proven track record to the office to ensure it operates at the highest possible standard. Her singular focus will be:

    • Protecting Taxpayer Dollars: Ensuring every cent is accounted for and managed with the utmost security.
    • Maximizing Public Returns: Strategically managing investments to generate the revenue needed to fund essential public services, schools, and infrastructure.
    • Delivering Transparent Management: Bringing a new level of responsible, clear, and open fiscal management to San Diego County.

    San Diego needs an expert at the helm. We need a leader who understands the numbers, respects the taxpayers, and has the private-sector discipline to optimize our county’s financial engine.

    Join Shirley E.M. Nakawatase in demanding real stewardship for our community. It’s time to get to work.

  • Why You Should Join Our Republican National Hispanic Assembly of San Diego


    God. Family. Country.

    Our nation is at a crossroads. The values that once united us — faith, family, and freedom — are being challenged like never before. Here in San Diego, the Hispanic community is standing up to say: Enough.

    The Republican National Hispanic Assembly of San Diego (RNHA-SD) is leading that stand. We’re a movement of faith-driven Americans who believe in the timeless principles of God, Family, and Country — and we’re ready to defend them.

    Since 1967, the Republican National Hispanic Assembly (RNHA) has given Hispanic Americans a voice in shaping our nation’s future — a voice grounded in faith, hard work, and moral clarity.

    Born out of President Richard Nixon’s outreach to Hispanic voters, the RNHA has grown into a national movement dedicated to civic engagement, leadership, and the defense of traditional values.

    Here in San Diego County, RNHA-SD proudly carries that mission forward by:

    • Advocating for school choice, so parents — not bureaucrats — decide what’s best for their children.
    • Standing pro-life, protecting the unborn and supporting mothers and families.
    • Defending public safety, ensuring every neighborhood is safe and every family can live without fear.
    • Protecting girls’ sports, so our daughters can compete fairly and confidently, knowing that truth and biology still matter.

    We are a community that believes strong families build strong nations — and that faith in God is the cornerstone of a free society.

    Imagine being part of a movement that not only shares your beliefs but also takes action to defend them.

    As a member of RNHA-SD, you’ll join a network of conservative Hispanic leaders, mentors, and patriots who are making an impact — from local school boards to national conversations. You’ll have opportunities to serve, lead, and strengthen the cause of liberty rooted in our values.

    When you join, you’re not just adding your name to a list — you’re answering a call to protect what matters most: our faith, our families, and our future.

    This is your moment to stand up — for your children, your community, and your country.

    Join the Republican National Hispanic Assembly of San Diego today. Together, we can preserve the values that make America exceptional and ensure the next generation inherits a nation worthy of their dreams.

    Join the movement. Defend God, Family, and Country.


  • Political Maps


    Know Your Political Map. Know Your Power.

    Every election counts — but do you truly know where your vote counts? Too many voters and even candidates don’t realize how political boundaries shape who represents them, what resources reach their neighborhoods, and how their voices are heard.

    Political maps — congressional, state legislative, county, and local districts — determine the leaders who make decisions about education, safety, the economy, and the very future of our communities. When boundaries are misunderstood, communities lose influence, and voters lose opportunities to make meaningful change.

    At the Republican National Hispanic Assembly of San Diego, we believe knowledge is power. Understanding your district means knowing who to hold accountable, who to support, and how to mobilize effectively to protect the values of God, Family, and Country.

    Imagine a community where every voter knows exactly which district they belong to, who their representatives are, and how to influence the process that draws those maps. Imagine candidates who run with clarity, confidence, and connection — representing their true constituents.

    That’s what empowerment looks like. When voters and candidates understand their political boundaries, they can take real action — to advocate for school choice, defend life, protect public safety, and ensure that fairness and faith remain guiding principles in our democracy.

    The Republican National Hispanic Assembly of San Diego is committed to helping every voter and candidate understand their political map and use it to make informed, powerful decisions. Together, we can ensure our community’s voice is heard where it matters most — in the halls of power.

    Join us in this mission. Know your boundaries. Know your representatives. Know your power.


    NEW Congressional Maps for 2026

    Why San Diego Voters Should Understand Our New 2026 Congressional Maps


    San Diego voters will see new congressional district lines in 2026, and many may not recognize their own district on the ballot. These changes aren’t cosmetic—they directly affect who represents you in Washington.


    Because of Proposition 50, congressional boundaries have been redrawn, shifting neighborhoods, cities, and even entire communities into different districts. Voters who assume “nothing changed” may discover too late that they’re voting in a completely different congressional race than before.


    Knowing your new district empowers you. It helps you identify the correct candidates, understand which issues will dominate your race, and avoid being disenfranchised by confusion. In close elections, informed voters—not surprises—decide outcomes.


    Take a few minutes to review the new congressional maps, confirm your district, and learn who is running to represent you. An informed voter is a protected voter—and in 2026, that starts with knowing your map.
